Application Guide

Good prep is the difference between a decal that lasts and one that lifts.

You do not need professional chemicals — just clean properly.

What Works at Home

• Warm water + washing-up liquid
• Microfibre or lint-free cloth
• Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or standard glass cleaner
• Kitchen roll (no fibres left behind)

How to Prep

1. Wash the area with warm soapy water
2. Rinse and dry completely
3. Wipe the surface with glass cleaner or IPA
4. Make sure the surface is dry, cool, and clean

⚠️ Do not apply over wax, polish or ceramic coatings.

Measure the area where the decal will go. Mark the centre point with masking tape if needed.

Hold the decal in place and check alignment before peeling the backing. Use masking tape to hold it temporarily if required.

Peel the backing paper slowly at around 45-degree angle. This prevents the vinyl from stretching or distorting.

Avoid touching the adhesive side. Oils from your fingers can reduce adhesion.

Position the decal carefully and press it down from the centre outwards.

Use a squeegee or credit card to smooth out air bubbles, working from the centre to the edges.

Peel off the transfer tape slowly at a 45-degree angle once the decal is fully applied.

Use the hinge method: tape the top edge of the decal in place, then peel the backing from the bottom up.

Apply the decal from top to bottom, smoothing as you go with a squeegee.

Remove the transfer tape slowly once fully applied.

Spray the windscreen with soapy water. This allows you to reposition the sunstrip before it sets.

Peel the backing and apply the sunstrip to the wet surface. Adjust position as needed.

Squeegee out water and air bubbles from the centre outwards. Use firm, even pressure.

Remove the transfer tape slowly once all water is removed.

Small bubbles (around 2mm or less) usually disappear on their own within 24–48 hours, especially in warmer temperatures.

How to Deal With Bubbles Safely

• Try pushing the air out gently using your finger or a squeegee, working towards the nearest edge
• Do not lift the decal once it has been pressed down — this can stretch the vinyl

Stubborn Bubbles

If a bubble won’t move:

• Use a very fine pin or needle
• Gently prick the bubble at the edge, not the centre
• Press the air out slowly with your finger

Done properly, this will not affect the look or lifespan of the decal.

Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to cure fully before washing or exposing to harsh conditions.

Avoid car washes, rain, and extreme temperatures during this period.
